A mystery in time?

This watch concept is based on utilizing energy from the wearer's kinetic
activity rather than a battery or having to remember to wind it.  I liken
this to - our soil - the giving cup - which refills with new growth every
season.  The danger for us is if we do not understand the mechanisms
associated with the movement/fertility, and assume it has nothing to do with
us, when in fact we provide inputs that cause gyrations/shifts to drive that
movement/fertility, we risk its destruction.  Lucky for us the soil is so
forgiving that it can be healed by the actions of plants and animals after
we abuse it - unlike the watch.  From farmers to watch makers - what time is
it?

Although I didn't find the video very interesting, the topic of
understanding these technologies can be helpful.  There is a great book
(re)publishing company that prints old machine shop manuals and has a few
interesting books of their own.  They cover everything from do-it-yourself
forges and making a metal shop from scrap to glass making, alcohol stills,
steam engines, and photography.

I'm thinking of all the glass, plastic, and metal dumped in the parks where
I live and wondering how practical it might be to recycle it myself as a
hobby.

Sorry for the OT pollution, won't be repeated.
I was impressed with the breadth, depth and scope of technology these days,
might be useful to us or perhaps not. Certainly technological advances
in the study of life in the soil and plants is. Seems it is all interrelated
and free-flowing except when industry seeks to coop it and block access to
and
competition from ordinary and extraordinary people and communities.
